Sending Video

I tried to send a video from my Apple 11 and it would not send because it was too large. How do I delete it so that I can text this person as it is "locked up" the phone for that text/person?

iPhone 4s, iOS 9

Delete Videos from text message to an android user I tried to text send 2 videos to an android phone that are too large to send and I can’t delete them. I already turned my phone off and back on and it did not solve the issue.

iPhone sending videos small and pixelated to other iPhones My iPhone has recently started sending videos to other iPhones in tiny resolution that can’t be enlarged on their phone. I don’t have low quality image mode turned on. I do have send as SMS enabled when iMessage is unavailable, but I have always sent the videos when I have service or Wi-Fi and my texts are sending blue. I have MMS messaging and group messaging enabled and I believe these are default. I can’t remember the length the videos were that I sent. Could larger files be compressed so much that they’re unwatchable? I have software 15.6.1 iPhone XR

Cannot delete video that is too large to send via text I added a video to a text, tried to send it and somehow managed to have the "edit video" disappear before I could edit it. Now it won't send the video (says I have to have iMessage enable to send this message). iMessage is enabled, but it won't send and there's no way to remove it from the text. The only way I can send a text is to send a picture with text below it. Then I'm left with my too long video in the thread. I have turned my phone off, but it didn't change anything. I have an iPhone 12 with the latest update.
